00:14:11 <WhiteRhino> What's wrong with a White Rhino? >.>
00:14:41 *** paulstuffins_ has joined #openttd
00:20:17 <WhiteRhino> Though I don't mean to toot my own horn. *rimshot*
00:25:47 *** curosurf has joined #openttd
00:30:17 <WhiteRhino> Don't know if I'm tastey enough to be considered Spearmint.

00:43:25 <WhiteRhino> My internet hasn't dumped me yet. Maybe tonight'll be better for playing online.
00:53:08 <dh2k3> my OTTD froze and I can't kill it
00:53:24 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
00:54:35 <dh2k3> nope can't kill the process unless I reboot
00:54:46 <WhiteRhino> That might be your only option then. *shrug*
00:54:55 <dh2k3> A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

00:59:46 <glx> I already knew it was vista :)
01:01:13 <glx> OS Version:,...6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3 <-- that's vista, xp is 5.1
01:02:59 <glx> I don't see how openttd could hang by itself (we don't use multithreading)
01:03:30 <dh2k3> usually after a few hours it hangs
01:03:30 <SmatZ> how can an app hang in a way it can't be killed?
01:03:40 <goodger> SmatZ: shitty kernel design...
01:04:11 <dh2k3> just OTTDCo-ops for multiplayer
01:04:27 <glx> does it happen with a nightly too ?
01:05:02 <dh2k3> nly nightly I have is an ancient build for track sharing and working PBS
01:05:27 <glx> anyway if it was an infinite loop due to a bug, it should still be possible to kill it
01:05:31 <dh2k3> OTTD-win32-r13481M-TiPP
01:05:36 <SmatZ> does it help when you run it in a window? (maximised window instead of fullscreen)
01:05:51 <dh2k3> dunno haven't tried windowed
01:05:55 <SmatZ> maybe vista have problems with 8bpp apps...
01:05:57 <glx> could be a driver bug too yes
01:07:30 <dh2k3> only way for me to kill it is restarting comp then it works again
01:07:53 <SmatZ> maybe it's because SP1 isn't final yet?
01:08:25 <glx> googling for "AppHangB1" shows it's a vista problem
01:08:42 <glx> many applications encounter it
01:08:54 <dh2k3> weird thing is that this is the only one I've seen do this
01:09:22 <dh2k3> don't use adobe (except for reader)
01:09:53 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
01:10:53 <matias> hmm.. i let the time pass and my towns got a negative growth.. why?
01:13:11 <WhiteRhino> That reminds me. On my short 64x64 game last night, even though I had food going to the town, the town didn't seem to grow any. In fact, after a year or two gametime, it stopped accepting food.
01:13:57 <matias> hmm.. i'm playing grasslands
01:15:03 <WhiteRhino> I think I was doing sub-arctic at the time.. didn't matter much given that 64x64 didn't give it much room to get to snowy areas.

01:26:44 <WhiteRhino> Trying to find mention on the forums of help for ship usage.
01:27:20 <Yexo> WhiteRhino: what do you want to know about ship usage?
01:27:28 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
01:27:53 <WhiteRhino> How to use them without sucking. =P Any of the other three types of transport I've made decent money on, but... ships have never been anything but a moneypit for me.
01:28:16 <dh2k3> so what to do besides restarting to fix it and kill the process?
01:29:22 <Yexo> I don't use ships often (actually most of the time I only use trains), but when I use them it's mostly to transport oil from oil rigs to refineries
01:30:14 <WhiteRhino> Yeah, I tried that last night before I couldn't connect to the map I was playing anymore. The canals on the map tended to be so thin that I couldn't bring the Goods deep enough into towns, though.
01:30:47 <goodger> yes, they're fairly useless except for that...
01:31:30 <Aali> ships are good for moving massive amounts of cargo where you don't have a lot of space
01:31:44 <Aali> since any number of ships can occupy and load/unload on the same tile
01:31:48 <WhiteRhino> The map also asked people not to terraform at all and not to use hovercrafts.. so other than a pair of oil tankers going to each of two offshore rigs, that was it. Didn't really get to see a profit before the map kicked me though.
01:35:09 <goodger> whyever shouldn't you use hovercrafts?
01:36:06 <WhiteRhino> I dunno, the map just asked not to. Maybe using them would cause people to make too much money too quickly. There was also notes asking people to only use two airports max. Didn't stop the other player that eventually joined from adding like ten, though.
01:41:44 <Eddi|zuHause> ships are often disabled on multiplayer, because they can use a high amount of CPU time
01:42:07 <WhiteRhino> Huh. Didn't know that.

02:18:31 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
02:22:58 <WhiteRhino> That Roboboy can't make up his mind. =P

02:41:01 <WhiteRhino> Hmm. Dinner or TTD.
02:41:53 <Eddi|zuHause> same procedure as last year
02:42:46 <WhiteRhino> Ooh. Traffic Set V3.0
02:46:24 <SpearmintRhino> ooh another Rhino
02:47:29 *** WhiteRhinoPSO has joined #openttd
02:47:53 <WhiteRhinoPSO> And another Rhino still-... dang.

04:16:32 <WhiteRhino> Awful quiet in here lately.
04:17:30 <Eddi|zuHause> happens, when it's 5AM
04:18:19 <Eddi|zuHause> only for a very small minority of people in here :p
04:21:41 <WhiteRhino> Now I haven't played in awhile, but $40k seems high for a single water tanker traincar.
04:22:56 <goodger> WhiteRhino: inflation is simulated more or less accurately...
04:23:31 <Eddi|zuHause> WhiteRhino: newgrfs?
04:24:00 <WhiteRhino> The only one I have is the one that changes Toyland to Mars.
04:37:00 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
04:37:37 *** HttpErrors has joined #openttd
04:39:52 <WhiteRhino> Network disconnected me. Just as well given how quickly I rode the company I'd just started into the ground.
04:42:22 <goodger> WhiteRhino: you're wasting your time on openttd, you could be being paid £60kpa to ride companies into the ground
04:44:12 <goodger> incidentally, WhiteRhino, your clock is three minutes slow
04:53:30 <WhiteRhino> First of all, bah. =P Second of all.. you're right. My PC clock is three minutes slower than the atomic one on the wall. o.O
04:53:58 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
04:57:04 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
05:00:25 <goodger> I wasn't aware caesium fountain clocks were wall-mountable
05:01:20 <goodger> HttpErrors: in that case I'd be more concerned about the ability of the paint to stick to the plaster, and the plaster to stick to the wall
05:01:43 <HttpErrors> what if the wall was made out of nokias?
05:02:15 <goodger> then I daresay they'd have difficulty sticking to each other as well
05:02:53 <goodger> in which case WhiteRhino would end up with a caesium fountain clock, interior emulsion, wall plaster and a large pile of mobile phones on his floor
05:03:07 <WhiteRhino> What makes you think I don't now? =)
05:03:45 <goodger> WhiteRhino: I think it's quite unlikely
05:07:02 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
05:13:52 <WhiteRhino> Ahh, that feels better. Starting a company that's actually going places.
05:14:43 <WhiteRhino> ANd then forgetting that Steel has to go to somewhere before it becomes Goods and wasting money on a whole line. Balls.
05:26:30 <goodger> ah, new xkcd. excellent
05:31:54 *** WhiteRhino has joined #openttd
05:33:17 <WhiteRhino> Gah! That one wood train always breaks down right in the middle of my big intersection!
05:33:32 <goodger> WhiteRhino: design your intersections better...
05:34:04 <goodger> if the intersection is appropriately designed and the trains are the right length, then one of them should be able to break down in the middle and still allow through traffic from the other direction
05:34:20 <WhiteRhino> ...Stupid fingers.
05:35:05 <WhiteRhino> *cough* It's more where one dual line branches off into another dual-line. It's a T-intersection formed by two dual-lines and one single-line. The single is where the wood train is supposed to go.
06:07:52 *** roboboy has joined #openttd
06:33:48 <WhiteRhino> 14 trains, all but two of them going to a 4-wide, 4-long station from both ends.
06:46:13 <WhiteRhino> God.. traffic jams.
06:46:37 <goodger> suggest you enlarge the station just a tiny bit?
06:47:13 <WhiteRhino> I can't. It's the size it is because on one side is a steel mill and the other is a sawmill.
06:48:01 <goodger> try moving it along a few squares so that it is not between both of those
06:58:50 <WhiteRhino> That cost me... about $400k.
06:59:32 <goodger> but now you can make profit because your trains will be able to reach their station
06:59:51 <goodger> and I think you have been a bit clumsy if you've spent $400k moving a station
07:00:03 <WhiteRhino> See, there was a lake behind it...
07:00:28 <goodger> did you not think to move it in the other direction?
07:00:28 <WhiteRhino> Small lake.. but in order to put the station somewhere where I could expand it out to six wide, I had to kind of remove said lake.
07:00:39 <WhiteRhino> Other direction had hills. x.x
07:00:53 <goodger> I think hills are more cheaply removed...
07:01:07 <goodger> I wasn't aware TTD generated closed lakes
07:02:03 <goodger> enjoy your shiny new megahub
07:02:18 <goodger> I probably should have gone to bed about eight hours ago
07:02:46 <goodger> I hope this sleep disorder goes away before I go to university
07:05:04 <WhiteRhino> So, that's why I've been losing money. Took me long enough to build the new station that it changed names. Everybody's been running around with (Invalid Orders).
07:06:38 <goodger> honey nut cornflakes are the best foodstuff ever devised, I say
07:08:18 <goodger> gah, my cat's got hold of that cheque again
07:08:34 <WhiteRhino> Yeargh. Now they're back to jamming at the little intersection.

07:20:39 <WhiteRhino> Crashed trains 'cus I tried to fix a small traffic jam.
07:22:21 <WhiteRhino> Curse you, ignore signal button.
07:23:17 <goodger> o'reilly are taking the piss
07:23:21 <petern> staying up on IRC doesn't really help with sleep disorders
07:23:34 <goodger> $29.99 for a 137-page book
07:24:01 <goodger> petern: I know, but I have to be up at 9am, and there's no way I'll achieve that if I go to bed at 4am
07:24:32 <petern> yes, obviously where i am :)
07:25:07 <goodger> the exterior of my house remains devoid of snow and indeed closu
07:26:34 <goodger> this book isn't even printed on decent paper
07:27:36 <petern> and presumably wasn't made by the foliosociety
07:28:07 <goodger> no, it was printed in the USA
07:28:23 <goodger> and it really is _appallingly_ overpriced
07:28:37 <goodger> you'd expect more than 140 pages for £25
07:35:10 <WhiteRhino> I just placed my first Presignals. >.>
07:35:38 <goodger> you weren't using them before? that explains the jams :S
07:37:42 <WhiteRhino> So I'd use those on any major intersections too, right?
07:37:54 <goodger> WhiteRhino: depends...
07:38:08 <WhiteRhino> Like, don't enter the intersection if there's no exit from it?
07:38:16 * goodger wonders if any inhabitants of this channel have jobs
07:38:25 *** Yeggstry has joined #openttd
07:39:15 <goodger> they surprise me by being here at twenty to nine on a weekday morning, is all
07:40:16 <goodger> I'm not aware of the age structure of most of them, so I can only presume they're of employment age
07:40:19 <dihedral> you start early, you get home early
07:40:35 <goodger> dihedral: you're at work _now_?
07:40:48 <dihedral> i have been since 0800
07:40:55 <goodger> this begs the question: why are you not working? :S
07:40:59 <dihedral> or 0755 to be precise
07:41:17 <goodger> you are employed to use IRC?
07:43:04 <WhiteRhino> Okay, there we go. After all the money spent and trains rebuilt and signals finally fiddled with.. now I'm making some serious jink.
07:43:27 <goodger> and you have introduced me to a new synonym for money. congratulations
07:43:32 <WhiteRhino> While looking over my list of trains it went from $60k to $170k moneys.
07:43:42 <WhiteRhino> Hehe, I got it from Planescape: Torment.
07:44:04 <WhiteRhino> Or you could call it Kopens, from Groo the Wanderer. =P
07:44:17 <goodger> yes, let's not go overboard
07:44:34 <goodger> dihedral: are you a BOFH?
07:49:03 <dihedral> no, goodger, i am no colleague of yours
07:49:39 <goodger> what other job allows you to spend time on IRC? :S
07:50:00 <goodger> and I'm not a BOFH, I own a publishing company (which does allow me to spend time on IRC)
07:51:05 <goodger> oh, yes, you wouldn't believe
07:52:00 <goodger> I'm so lazy, I developed a business model that involves no actual books being touched at any time by me or my partner
07:52:10 <petern> what sort of work do you publish?
07:54:55 <petern> "Scientists dismiess 'detox myth'"
07:55:12 <goodger> we will publish anything that will sell. to get our foot between the door and the frame, we are presently focusing on open-source project manuals (and have our first title being published later today, as it happens) --- once we've built up a portfolio of a few of those, which are great --- the mutual collaboration between us and the Scribus people for mutual benefit has been fantastic
07:55:33 <goodger> --- we will diversify
07:55:54 <dihedral> i thought you were just in the start phase
07:56:20 <goodger> we are. we're publishing our first title this afternoon
07:56:38 <goodger> the preorders have been relatively healthy throughout December, though
07:56:39 <dihedral> well - the best of british luck for that
07:57:30 <WhiteRhino> Locks and canals are really expensive.
07:58:01 <goodger> WhiteRhino: yes, they are. this seems to be the developers punishing you for using them
07:59:46 <petern> yeah, everyone knows there are no canals
08:00:11 <petern> actually canals *were* really expensive
08:00:29 <WhiteRhino> I will become successful with ships. This, I command!
08:00:31 <petern> but then, so is track laying
08:00:37 <petern> and road building, no doubt
08:00:44 <goodger> yeah, but the profits that the real canals made were impossibly huge compared to the ones that can be achieved with OTTD
08:01:10 <petern> well they didn't have roads and rails for competition :)
08:01:48 <goodger> track is relatively easy to lay. dig a shallow trench, fill it with lumps of rock, drop a bit of wood on, bolt a ten-foot piece of metal to it, and clip the pieces of metal together
08:02:27 <goodger> unlike canals, which were really complex, or roads, which are really big
08:04:50 * goodger feels like his lungs have had an argument with his throat and are trying to eject the throat
08:05:40 <dihedral> rather ejecting the throat than the lungs...
08:06:14 <goodger> they're both rather important
08:06:26 <goodger> the throat is the one that actually hurts, though :P
08:06:31 <dihedral> yes - but lungs look nasty and they take longer to shove back in
08:10:54 <goodger> the US version of The Office is intriguingly similar to the UK version
08:10:57 <goodger> they appear to have used the same script, but changed the words slightly
08:11:08 <goodger> they also seem to have cast actors who look the same as the British ones
08:16:53 <dihedral> same for the german version!
08:17:17 <dihedral> and they went for the characters stupidity rather than looks here :-P
08:21:10 <goodger> I'm not sure what the point is
08:21:27 <dihedral> they have a german show rather than just dubbing it?
08:21:37 <goodger> if they were going to use the same scripts with the same characters, and actors who looked the same, why not just export directly to the US and dub for germany & france?
08:21:50 <dihedral> higher employment rate
08:22:05 <dihedral> at the cost of no extra script writer
08:27:06 <goodger> I am also concerned that the Americans have removed the good jokes
08:32:43 <enra> yay - got my new laptop - now i need to get all my ottd downloads again :(
08:35:33 <dihedral> enra, why not copy from your old laptop
08:36:23 <enra> it got fried and rotted the h/d - nothing there to copy anymore :(
08:36:36 <enra> but at least i'll have the latest ottd release now lol
08:36:54 <goodger> petern: a chance of further snow today
08:37:23 <enra> oh noes - i forgot i need the graphics files!
08:37:32 <petern> it's snowing a tiny bit still
08:37:45 <goodger> no snow here, but we might get some later on
08:37:49 <goodger> what's your postcode?
08:39:39 <goodger> not too far from where I was born...
08:40:31 <goodger> and almost exactly 100 miles north of where I am now. no snow for me ATM
08:47:25 *** JdGordon has joined #openttd
08:49:34 <JdGordon> hey, whats the best way to build tracks where you have 3 or 4 tracks heading in the same direction but need to be able to let trains from any of those tracks head off to another line? (like http://imagebin.ca/view/93hNYv.html )
08:51:36 <JdGordon> trains are apparently not very cooperative so those X's mean trains will sometimes cross to another track blocking others instead of going straight ahead
08:52:32 <goodger> try removing some signals so that the trains do not pass through more than one signal at a time
08:52:40 <goodger> that usually helps when fixing blockages
08:53:03 <goodger> e.g. if your train is 7 tiles long, place the signal 8 tiles apart
08:54:46 <dihedral> JdGordon, have a look at www.openttdcoop.org, specifically the junctions, public server archive games, and SML
08:55:34 <WhiteRhino> Man, it's 4am already.
08:56:18 <goodger> WhiteRhino: 9am here... :P
08:57:10 <JdGordon> goodger: removing signals after the junction doesnt seem to have helped.. but that could be because that section is badly done
08:57:15 <JdGordon> dihedral: thanks.. ill have a look
09:00:48 <WhiteRhino> Whew, my boats are making a profit.
09:01:12 <goodger> you could put a type 3 presignal immediately after each exit from the X structure and then a type 2 presignal 8 tiles later, so that the trains can guarantee they will always be able to clear the structure
09:04:48 <petern> for i am now at the lovely place called... the office
09:05:09 *** WhiteRhino has joined #openttd
09:05:16 <petern> 100 miles north? you're on the isle of wight?
09:05:56 <goodger> no, southeast cornwall
09:07:41 <petern> oh right, not directly north :)
09:08:03 <petern> it's snowing a bit more now
09:08:15 <petern> typical that it snows on the fast day of work, heh
09:08:25 <goodger> and 100 miles directly south of you is 20 miles south of Wight
09:08:40 <goodger> it's always gloriously sunny on school says
09:09:41 <petern> it's about 90-100 miles to my parents near portsmouth, but that involves 15-20 miles west/east at both ends
09:11:18 * petern mumbles about london-centric transport routes
09:11:31 <petern> it's worse on the train of course
09:12:15 <goodger> you're a good 250 miles to my town...
09:12:31 <goodger> and good luck getting the train. I think there's one train per day from london that stops here
09:13:23 <goodger> muttering about london-centric transport routes is deserved
09:16:07 <goodger> going to canterbury from here involves going to london, even by car (!)
09:28:02 *** curosurf has joined #openttd
09:28:22 <petern> they should continue the M27
09:30:17 <WhiteRhino> Gah. I just accidentally dropped two and a half mil on a -tunnel-.
09:31:27 <goodger> WhiteRhino: better than an automotive industry bailout
09:31:40 <JdGordon> hmm... fixing those X's with tunnels on the 2 inner tracks seems to work better
09:32:46 <petern> maybe the A303 could be made a motorway
09:32:57 <petern> although that ends up going to london anyway
09:33:45 <goodger> petern: extending the M3 to exeter would be welcome, but would crush quite a lot of pretty countryside
09:34:55 <petern> but the M3 has its lovely twyford down cutting
09:34:57 <WhiteRhino> Awesomely, the only train not making any money anymore is the one that's just transferring goods from one station to another as opposed to unloading them. THings seem to be working now.
09:35:04 <petern> should've built a tunnel
09:35:21 <WhiteRhino> Be careful with tunnels. =P
09:35:58 <JdGordon> are you guys playing with AI and breakdowns enabled?
09:35:59 <goodger> petern: taking the M5 to bristol and transferring to the M4 is only 20 minutes longer than the A303 without congestion anyway, and the A303 is usually very congested
09:37:47 <goodger> but I suspect extending the M3 to exeter would cut the journey time quite a lot
09:38:05 <goodger> of course, a bridge connecting exeter and canterbury would be best.
09:38:24 <dihedral> JdGordon, people here play differently!
09:38:42 <dihedral> everybody has a certain style of playing, some play with breakdowns, some don't
09:39:10 <dihedral> you can even find people in the forums who like playing with the ai
09:39:18 <petern> the M3 is already further east than it should be
09:39:19 <dihedral> you find a better ai in the noai branch

09:44:51 <WhiteRhino> I tosssed in a couple airports mostly so I could have money coming in on all four fronts.

09:49:51 <WhiteRhino> Under the trophy button.
09:53:22 <WhiteRhino> What year is Monorail?
09:53:43 <goodger> monorail has evaporated, it seems, in recent years, in favour of electric rail
09:53:48 <goodger> maglev appears c. 2010
09:54:05 <WhiteRhino> 1972 right now, started in 1950.
09:55:19 <goodger> the simpsons features a monorail in 1992
09:55:37 <JdGordon> yeah, also its annoying changing over to maglev so shortly after
09:55:59 <WhiteRhino> Do you guys tend to switch everything to the latest innovation or only specific lines?
09:56:00 <LordNokon> how do i edit a save game, to add more factories and industries
09:56:06 <goodger> it's not necessary to switch to maglev immediately
09:56:09 <petern> monorail in ottd is pointless
09:56:19 <JdGordon> its nice for the speedup
09:56:20 <goodger> WhiteRhino: I personally use the date-change cheat to keep it in 2008
09:56:40 <WhiteRhino> I know not of this cheat.
09:57:44 <WhiteRhino> Well, dang. Ooh.. now that I've saved, wonder what would happen if I switched climate.
09:58:54 <goodger> it won't thank you for it, but it won't crash
09:59:33 <goodger> LordNokon: you can pretty much only edit the savegames by playing the game. there are facilities available in-game to build new industries
09:59:38 <WhiteRhino> My singular lines seem to work well, but I doubt that the iron ore -> steel -> goods deal will work right.
10:00:27 <WhiteRhino> Okay, I'm done screwing around. =P Bedtime for me. G'night everybody.
10:00:59 <petern> oops, just scared the boss a little
10:01:03 <WhiteRhino> Bah. It's night for me 'cus I'm waking up at noon.
10:02:24 <WhiteRhino> Before I go, though, I say Monorail should hit around 1990. That's decently far away from both Electric and Maglev, and if the Simpsons built one in 1992 and the monorail guy had built similar systems in three other towns, then we could safely assume he visited them around 1990 given the time taken to build said monorails.
10:02:53 <WhiteRhino> Plus it'd give monorail more a reason to be used if it's a longer wait between it and maglev. *shrug* My two cents.
10:03:11 <JdGordon> maglev shuold be further out also...
10:03:30 <goodger> JdGordon: not necessarily. maglevs were in use c. 2005
10:03:43 <WhiteRhino> Maybe 2015 or 2020. Further on but not so far that games ending in 2050 will think it's not worthwihle.
10:04:10 <JdGordon> goodger: only on test tracks...
10:04:47 <WhiteRhino> 20-30 years between would be good for me. Then again.. *cough* I've never played a map long enough to see maglev before.
10:05:43 <goodger> nah, it was running on an airport in china
10:05:45 <goodger> WhiteRhino: the game (without newgrfs) effectively ends in 1995 because this is as far into the future as MPS could be bothered to imagine
10:05:45 <goodger> with newgrfs it lasts until 2015 because this is as far into the future as newgrf authors could be bothered to imagine
10:06:09 <LordNokon> goodger - so i cant add more coals mines etc etc by editing my save game
10:06:23 <WhiteRhino> Not necessarily. Once you get to 2050 or so you could always start a new map in Toyland using the Mars graphics. >.>
10:07:02 <WhiteRhino> Then just play like it's going from 2050 to 3050 or something.
10:07:27 <goodger> unfortunately the trains only have set lifespans
10:07:42 <goodger> so you will eventually be unable to buy any more trains because the designs have expired
10:08:05 <WhiteRhino> Really? So the game can't like... continue forever unless you reverse the year?
10:08:12 <petern> there's no second hand market
10:08:26 <petern> the last lot of engines will last forever
10:09:08 <goodger> WhiteRhino: in fact, reversing the year doesn't reintroduce expired vehicles
10:09:37 <petern> reverse the year then resetengines :D
10:10:10 <WhiteRhino> How do you reset engines? >.> And if you reverse until 1950 or something, won't engines be reintroduced in whatever year they'd come out?
10:12:49 <WhiteRhino> Anyway, bed is calling me. >.< I'll be back tomorrow. Seeya.
10:15:45 <LordNokon> goodger there is way, found it
10:16:07 <LordNokon> rename your save game to the .src file edit what you want to do and rename it to .sav

12:29:58 <blathijs> Spent some part of my christmas break hacking on backupninja, a backup tool that is pretty useful, but not quite perfect yet :-)
12:31:23 <blathijs> But I managed to stir some life in the mailing list, so that's good
12:32:30 <edeca> Bah, why did saveload stuff get split out into a different directory ;)
12:32:45 <TrueBrain> should have been done years ago
12:33:03 <edeca> Yeah, but I just modified the copypaste patch last night to remove all the saveload stuff from saveload.cpp :P
12:33:06 <dihedral> probably because it breaks some patches :-P
12:33:25 <edeca> At least I *removed* it though
12:37:50 * petern ponders resyncing railtypes
12:38:25 <petern> actually i could just tidy it up and then commit
12:39:08 * TrueBrain ponders cleaning up his NoAI patches and commit them
12:39:20 <TrueBrain> they are created around NAIL, but not really depending on that fact ..
12:39:29 <petern> Rubidium mentioned branching 0.7
12:40:09 <petern> but i don't know how soon he had in mind
12:40:21 <TrueBrain> I want NoAI to be trunk-tested for at least 1 month, so it won't be in 0.7 anyway :)
12:40:22 <petern> there should be a bug-fix-freeze before that though
12:40:45 <TrueBrain> it is more something to trunk-commit just after a branch ;)
12:41:41 <petern> cargodest'll be different...
12:41:49 <TrueBrain> then your patch is not complicated enough ;)
12:42:02 <petern> it has no savegame changes, incredibly
12:42:19 <petern> it might need a bump just to prevent incompatibleness
12:42:43 <petern> maybe it needs yet another patch option, hah
12:46:12 <Yexo> petern: what is the current status of railtypes anyway?

14:40:47 <LordNokon> i take it there's no way to copy a station layout and past it on anohter part of the map withou recreating the hole thing??
14:41:00 <Yexo> not unless you play with the copy-paste patch
14:41:16 <LordNokon> which is what version
14:41:26 <Yexo> no idea, take a look at the forums
14:47:18 <Aali> you shouldn't use copy-paste though
14:48:11 <Aali> just build another station layout
14:50:53 <LordNokon> having to build a 1000 station the same way take a very very long time
14:51:20 <edeca> LordNokon: It's trunk :)
14:51:26 <edeca> But it doesn't copy newgrf stations yet
14:51:42 <edeca> Basically because you can walk stations, so the copypaste patch would rely on distant-join stations patch
14:51:52 <edeca> However, all other features of copypaste work dandily ;)
14:52:59 <edeca> goodger: Heh, you mean we can't have banknotes with Queeny any more? :(

14:55:43 *** DaleStan has joined #openttd
14:57:12 <edeca> LordNokon: Like I said above, it doesn't currently copy stations.
14:57:29 <edeca> LordNokon: So it probably wont help you. Do you run linux or windows? And do you build yourself or install?
15:01:24 *** stillunknown has joined #openttd
15:03:11 <edeca> LordNokon: However, it should be possible to add station copying with the exception of "walked" stations
15:03:37 <edeca> LordNokon: But it will add the complexity that if you copy a newgrf station and paste it in a game without that newgrf loaded, what do you do?
15:04:45 <Yexo> edeca: simple, just use the default station instead
15:04:57 <edeca> Yexo: Yeah, that's one solution
15:05:05 <edeca> Yexo: I prefer randomly bulldozing expensive tiles ;)
15:05:25 <edeca> Yexo: Or generating an error dialog for every tile that fails
15:07:20 <LordNokon> edeca you totaly lost me, i have no idea what you are talking about.
15:07:30 <edeca> LordNokon: Plenty of cheese.
15:08:05 <edeca> Basically there is a copy and paste patch. It isn't in the official source, but does work with the latest version.
15:08:10 <edeca> However, it wont help you copy stations.

15:55:04 <joachim> will autorenew turn off old vehicle warnings?
15:55:23 *** Swallow has joined #openttd
15:57:17 <petern> it might cause vehicles to be renewed, which would then stop vehicles being old, which would then not issue old vehicle warnings
15:57:26 <petern> but in itself it does not 'turn off' old vehicle warnings
15:58:19 <joachim> do you know how old a vehicle is for the game to start warning?
15:59:11 <petern> depends on the vehicle
15:59:49 <joachim> i want a warning before it's autorenew
16:01:30 <Eddi|zuHause> the first warning is lifetime - 12 months, the default for autorenew is lifetime - 6 months
16:01:46 <Eddi|zuHause> so you have 6 months time to react
16:02:20 <joachim> i set lifetime to +12 months
16:03:22 <joachim> cause i don't think i'm getting warned
16:04:01 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe you changed the message settings?
16:04:43 <joachim> maybe daylength patch screws it up? autorenew doesn't seem to trigger either
16:05:14 <Eddi|zuHause> daylength should have no influence to lifetime and autorenew
16:05:41 <joachim> ok, i have buses that are 18 (max 10)
16:07:36 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe they can't find path to depot?
16:08:21 <joachim> no, i don't think that's it

16:46:03 <gynter> hello, does anyone know why I have Pikka's Basic Industries all cargo rates 0€ ?
16:46:21 <gynter> OpenTTD 0.6.3, latest PBI
16:46:52 <SmatZ> gynter: because you added the GRF after game initialization?
16:47:02 <Aali> you missed the big red warning sign?
16:47:31 <gynter> all grfs are read correctly (are green) and industries works
16:47:35 <gynter> but only payment rates are 0
16:47:51 <yorick> but did you add it ingame or in the menu?
16:48:28 <gynter> In client I added it from menu, in server I added it to scenario from ediotr
16:49:02 <yorick> yep, then there's your problem
16:49:12 <yorick> you can't add newcargoes grfs from inside the game/editor
16:49:15 <SmatZ> you have to add GRFs in the main menu, not in the game nor scenario editor
16:49:40 <gynter> But how I could add new grf to scenario then?
16:49:51 <yorick> nightlies support the feature
16:49:55 <gynter> since If i add it to server conf it'll only read scenario ones
16:49:59 <yorick> and you need to add it before create the server
16:49:59 <SmatZ> trunk behaves better, it resets economy after newgrf changes (I thought it has been backported to 0.6 :-/
16:50:42 <Aali> gynter: set the right GRFs from the main menu before you create the scenario
16:51:20 <gynter> but, then i'll have to make new scenario?
16:51:58 <gynter> thats sad, but if it works then its worth of it :)

17:13:14 <petern> in some cases they don't, they just move through
17:14:15 <goodger> I wish they did that more often
17:16:56 <Aali> well, if you keep enough RVs trying to go the same place (and the road is blocked so they have to stop), they will eventually end up inside each other

19:05:12 <Belugas> i've got it setup on my quick launch, so i only need to click on it once. The key file is passed as parameter and the paraphrase pops up
19:05:50 <Belugas> name connection... nope, i don't recall seeing it as a matter
19:06:21 <petern> i'm trying named connection indeed
19:06:28 <Belugas> it's not reuired as per say, petern, but you'll be prompted for credential whenever you try doing stuff
19:07:10 * petern tries with pageant anyway
19:08:15 <petern> bah, i can't see what's going on the server side either
19:12:44 <petern> when i tell it to use plink a plink.exe cmd window pops up but nothing more :o
19:14:54 <Belugas> mmh.... I remember sending my public key over
19:15:43 <petern> for a normal login session
19:16:18 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... can i change the resolution of a running windows without seeing anything on the monitor?
19:16:36 <petern> if you're really lucky
19:17:12 <Eddi|zuHause> well, i could do it back then when i only saw gibberish when the resolution was too high, but my flatscreen monitor doesn't do that...
19:17:13 <petern> you know what pisses me off?

19:23:06 <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, that worked
19:40:35 <petern> anyone with admin on secure?
19:43:56 <Belugas> Rubidium and TrueBrain are the only ones. i believe
19:47:23 <Belugas> not nice... i still have one ear completely blocked by this infection i caugh. so listening to music is...not enjoyable
19:54:34 <Eddi|zuHause> bah, handling two computers with two keyboards and one monitor is... annoying
19:55:07 <Eddi|zuHause> especially i can't get that second computer to choose a widescreen resolution
20:01:41 <Rubidium> petern: what do you need?
20:01:56 <petern> i can't tell if this thing is even attempting to login :/
20:02:25 <petern> tortoisesvn + ssh that is
20:03:26 <Rubidium> petern: last ssh session is from 19:07 UTC
20:03:34 <Rubidium> so roughly one hour ago
20:06:04 <Eddi|zuHause> argh... fuck this...
20:06:13 <Eddi|zuHause> how can i remote login into windows from linux?
20:06:39 <petern> hmm, ttdpatch uses two bytes to store rv max speed
20:06:55 <petern> one for old and one for new
20:07:02 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: in the "old" age there was a telnet server installed with Windows
20:07:32 <Eddi|zuHause> preferably graphical, and preferably using the preinstalled windows remote stuff
20:07:35 <petern> i can store it in one uint16 but grfs may assume they can set the new then the old, which'll work differently
20:07:47 <Rubidium> Eddi|zuHause: then definitely rdesktop
20:07:48 <petern> so should i just create another uint8 for a new max speed?
20:08:09 <Ctibor> Eddi|zuHause: krdc supports remote desktop
20:09:21 <petern> hmm, does krdc support ssl?
20:11:20 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... i think i crashed it...
20:13:10 <petern> heh, silly programming... it keeps the lower byte so why didn't they make the new byte just the high part of a word instead of a different value in different units?
20:15:01 <Eddi|zuHause> how can i disable the tabs in krdc?
20:16:47 *** [alt]buster has joined #openttd
20:16:50 *** [alt]buster is now known as [com]buster
20:20:10 <petern> meh, two separate values is annoying :/
20:20:37 <frosch123> what defines, which value is used?
20:21:26 <frosch123> or is the new one only used when "realistic acceleration" is on?
20:21:29 *** KenjiE20 has joined #openttd
20:23:30 <petern> i want to make it always use the new speed if it's set, but we can't assume the new speed is set after the old speed format
20:23:53 <petern> otherwise it'd be much simpler to just increase the max speed to uint16
20:24:18 <frosch123> I do not understand why you want to store both, isn't it already known which will be used on grf load?
20:25:59 <Eddi|zuHause> mäh... internet access on the work pc at home isn't as fast as internet access on the work pc at work...
20:26:00 <petern> it is not known which order they will be in the grf file
20:26:17 <petern> so if you only store one, it could be replaced by the old format later
20:26:37 <frosch123> "When setting property 15, always set property 08 as well, so that the vehicle works reasonably well whether realistic acceleration is turned on or off. If property 15 is not set, the value from property 08 is used instead." <- does that mean, first setting prop 15 and then 8, that the value of 8 will override 15?
20:27:04 <petern> if we store it in the same place, yes
20:27:15 <frosch123> or does it initialiue 15 with zero or something like that to detect whether it has been set?
20:27:31 <frosch123> I was asking for TTDP behaviour :)
20:27:49 <petern> ttdpatch stores them separately, and presumably defaults to 0 for prop 15
20:28:58 <petern> one possibility is to abuse one of the misc flags, i think
20:29:00 <frosch123> so you only need to know whether property 15 has already been set during loading?

20:29:16 <Rubidium> petern: what about adding a static SmallMap<EngineID, uint16> _rv_new_speed and storing stuff into there (for new RVs)
20:29:19 <CIA-9> OpenTTD: michi_cc * r14852 /trunk/src/ (settings.cpp train_cmd.cpp): -Feature: Automatic reversing in front of block signals can now be disabled by setting pf.wait_oneway_signal respectively pf.wait_twoway_signal to 255.
20:29:25 <frosch123> isn't the engine data already stored in some temporary array?
20:29:32 <Rubidium> then when the GRF are loaded check in the map
20:29:43 <petern> Rubidium... hmm, possible
20:30:03 <Rubidium> IIRC it already happens for something else too
20:30:06 <petern> that would make the rest of the code much simpler
20:30:40 <DaleStan> I think the question is: If speed is non-zero, was that speed set by prop 08 or prop 15?
20:31:09 <petern> frosch123: you're right
20:31:14 <petern> there's a GRFTempEngineData struct
20:31:18 <petern> i could just put it in there
20:31:23 *** thingwath has joined #openttd
20:31:37 <DaleStan> If the speed was set by prop 15 (and realistic acceleration is on) then further prop 08s must not overwrite that value.
20:31:47 <petern> DaleStan, yes, we know that :)
20:31:51 <Eddi|zuHause> michi_cc: how about, instead of reversing on a PBS signal, look both ways for a new path, after the waiting timeout?
20:32:11 <Eddi|zuHause> and then reverse if a path in the other direction has been found
20:32:34 <SpearmintRhino> how about allowing combined through/terminus stations
20:32:45 <SpearmintRhino> so that a train checks it can leave a platform before it enters it
20:32:50 <Eddi|zuHause> should essentially be calling the pathfinder from the rear vehicle
20:33:09 <Eddi|zuHause> SpearmintRhino: not as easy as it sounds
20:33:21 <SpearmintRhino> you're just not trying hard enough
20:33:32 *** tom0004 has joined #openttd
20:33:37 <Rubidium> SpearmintRhino: no YOU are not trying hard enough
20:34:09 <Rubidium> 'cause if you would be trying hard enough you'd already have a patch for it
20:34:19 <Eddi|zuHause> SpearmintRhino: getting the train to pick the through platform is not too difficult, PBS already has such a lookahead, but getting the reversing train to pick the terminal platform?
20:34:32 <Rubidium> written by yourself ofcourse
20:34:34 <Alberth> or have come to the conclusion that it is less easy than it sounds :)
20:34:43 *** Fantasya has joined #openttd
20:34:44 <SpearmintRhino> Eddi|zuHause: the reverser can pick any
20:34:49 <michi_cc> Eddi|zuHause: maybe later, but it's certainly more work than just adding a == 255 :)
20:34:51 <SpearmintRhino> the through train needs a through platform
20:35:01 <Eddi|zuHause> SpearmintRhino: yes, but deciding that a train should reverse?
20:35:47 *** Moodles has joined #openttd
20:35:57 <Rubidium> then there's the issue of: what is a through train and what is a train that is going to reverse
20:36:15 <Rubidium> with conditional orders that can be unknown at the moment you want to enter the station
20:36:21 <Eddi|zuHause> that's what i was trying to say
20:37:08 <Fantasya> Hi guys. happy new year! c novi godom! frohes neues jahr! laimingu naujuju metu!
20:37:21 <Eddi|zuHause> you are like 5 days late...
20:37:48 <petern> better late than never?
20:38:21 <Fantasya> yea sure. better late :P
20:38:35 <petern> bit of a 'waste' because only RVs need that extra byte, but it's temporary data anyway
20:39:47 <Fantasya> I want to wish you all good income, more maglev constructions :)
20:40:41 *** Hirundo has joined #openttd
20:44:14 <Alberth> Fantasya: well, less is not possible. I didn't construct any maglev last year

20:46:23 *** Hirundo is now known as Swallow
20:50:58 <petern> (using the multistep movement code from trains)
20:52:28 <glx> Belugas: wrong encoding :)
20:53:13 <Belugas> glx, i can guess. I'm not totally fully re-installed on this new pc :(
20:56:26 <Belugas> seems like quite decent, petern
20:58:59 <Swallow> Is it possible/allowed to change the window number of an open window?
21:00:01 <Wolf01> hey I have an idea: be able to build stations with at least 2 full foundations on the tile (the tile with only one corner raised... I need to put buffers on these tiles :P)
21:00:56 <frosch123> you mean steep slopes?
21:00:57 <Swallow> Never mind, I will use a different solution..
21:01:43 <Wolf01> no, not steep slopes those are 2 foundations high
21:01:49 <glx> why would you change window number Swallow ?
21:02:11 <frosch123> Wolf01: then I guess you want to remove the slope checks for non-track-station tiles :)
21:02:25 <glx> usually window number contains info about what is displayed in the window
21:03:04 <petern> no-one's written it :p
21:03:06 <glx> Wolf01: what happens if you remove the station grf?
21:03:10 <petern> originally the argument was that
21:03:17 <petern> but then what happens if you remove a vehicle grf? ;)
21:03:53 <Wolf01> uhm... so we should allow track tiles too
21:03:56 <glx> fallback stuff is in the spec for them
21:04:06 <frosch123> when non-track-tiles become track-tiles you will get a lot traincrashes anyway :)
21:04:15 <frosch123> who cares if they fall down the slope :p
21:04:20 <Swallow> glx: I used tileindices to refer to either a waypoint or a signal tile, but I'm gonna revert that
21:04:22 <Wolf01> why a train should crash?
21:05:11 <glx> Wolf01: TBBT with T=trac, B=buffer
21:05:41 <frosch123> I guess PBS won't be happy about that either :p
21:05:52 <Wolf01> the same should already happen with TBT where B is the double headed buffer
21:06:11 *** Terkhen has joined #openttd
21:06:19 <petern> do we care much if people removes grfs anyway?
21:06:37 <petern> i'm fairly sure that in the spec you can remove vehicle grfs too
21:06:44 <petern> ttdpatch does store details of them in the game
21:06:48 <Wolf01> you already suggest to don't remove grfs runtime
21:07:01 <petern> Wolf01, write a patch to allow it and i'll consider it
21:07:19 <CIA-9> OpenTTD: rubidium * r14853 /trunk/src/station_cmd.cpp: -Codechange: rename GetClosestStationFromTile to GetClosestDeletedStation as that's what it does instead of finding non-deleted stations.
21:07:56 <Wolf01> I hope to understand how the code for the possible slopes works
21:08:20 *** Vikthor has joined #openttd
21:09:00 <Wolf01> last time I've got a great headache to try to allow vertical tracks on slopes
21:09:59 <frosch123> Wolf01: let it perform the airport test for non-track tiles
21:10:49 <Wolf01> why only non track ones?
21:11:11 <frosch123> else trains will drive over the cliff
21:11:12 <petern> because the current behaviour for track tiles shouldn't change
21:13:05 <Wolf01> but as glx said, when one removes the grf, the non-track tiles become track tiles, and one might expect to be able to build track tiles in the same slope
21:14:25 <Eddi|zuHause> non-track-tiles should be an entirely different tile class
21:14:35 <Eddi|zuHause> not rail rail tiles
21:15:16 <Wolf01> indeed, non track tiles should be newobjects
21:15:54 <frosch123> except someone wants to place objects which consists of tiles from both classes :p
21:16:14 <Wolf01> wow 16.49MB transferred... I should update the checkout more often
21:16:24 *** Osai^Kendo is now known as Osai
21:20:05 <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: but that is only a problem at construction time
21:20:36 <frosch123> and destruction- and overbuilding-time
21:20:53 <frosch123> but true, it is limited to OTTD
21:21:30 <Eddi|zuHause> feature request: overbuilding of a station tile should not depend on town rating
21:22:00 <Wolf01> I really agree with Eddi
21:25:36 <frosch123> with a configurable chance per year, that the missing building license is detected, and the building is destructed
21:27:10 <Wolf01> ok, the station can be built on every kind of sloped tile, and the train don't fall down
21:27:38 <Eddi|zuHause> Wolf01: not even if you continue the rail?
21:27:57 <Wolf01> it stops at the end of the station
21:28:28 <frosch123> SmatZ: did you change something wrt. that?
21:28:45 <Eddi|zuHause> Wolf01: can you try with my middle stop patch?
21:29:00 <Wolf01> just commented out the slope checking in the CheckFlatLandBelow function
21:29:22 <frosch123> Wolf01: ok, the train stops, but can it continue to the next station across the cliff?
21:30:36 <Wolf01> we could make sloped stations!!!
21:31:17 <Eddi|zuHause> sloped stations are hardly "realistic"
21:31:33 <frosch123> SmatZ: I temporarily wondered whether end-of-line detection can handle cliffs
21:32:32 <qball> what is wrong with sloped stations?
21:33:07 <Eddi|zuHause> but... i need sloped tram stations
21:33:17 <Wolf01> I'll try to make it not building the foundations and see if I can make the train behave like in a normal slope... maybe then graphics will come in a second time
21:34:39 * SmatZ understands Eddi|zuHause's needs
21:34:41 <Wolf01> the only impossible slope is the steep slope, the one which covers 2 height levels
21:35:02 <frosch123> Wolf01: you can build inclined foundations there
21:35:23 <Wolf01> yes but where I find an inclined station?
21:35:44 <Wolf01> and then I don't need foundations
21:35:53 <frosch123> err, maybe is pisa? you should know
